Hi, I am now a consolidated airline. And I don't know if I should start buying planes or continue leasing them. And if you think that I should buy I'd like to know if I should buy the planes that I already have.

 

Thanks,

Pol

if you have more money, better to buy than leasing

if you dont have money, continue to lease until you can buy all the aircraft that you lease

Okay, thank you very much!

That is wrong advice.  Every plane is different and the point in which you should switch from buying to leasing has a number of variables--quantity of planes you are ordering, depreciation rate of the plane, etc.  The only way to figure this out is with complex calculations.

 

Generally, buy newer model planes and lease older generation equipment.
